Sock Puppet Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Started snowing here immediately at 66% humidity I hope you're right! I'd still like to see the full-fledged fury of this beast, however. Have you seen any flakes yet? Air feels somewhat drier here, humidity only in the upper 50s to 66% now it looks like.

goombatommy Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I would say ~12-3PM I dunno, it seems to be taking its merry sweet time coming up here. Not only that but that SW->NE axis is atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 As far as the RUC goes, I remember using it a lot to hold on hope for the heavy snows to get back to me in PA last year. Unfortunately it never came to fruition as depicted. But the RUC can be good sometimes. [Weenie image #1] And still falling [Weenie image #2] Unless you want a letdown I'd suggest you stop looking at the RUC. If it keeps going way too far west why even bother looking at it?

jdt Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I dunno, it seems to be taking its merry sweet time coming up here. Not only that but that SW->NE axis is atrocious. That orientation has been expected at this point. This system is unsual in that for N&W locales this shield is expected to more so back in from SE to NW which is different from the general progress we see of SW to NE. Later the orientation may become closer to south to north. Obviously the futher N&W you are the later it will get to you till you are so far N&W it never makes it. It is possible far N&W areas up into NE PA far NW NJ etc may have to wait till 3-5PM. Either way the best snows are not expect till late afternoon and into tonight early tomorrow morning. Further S&E will get into it much earlier, infact some areas are already getting into some light to moderate stuff. They will likely hold onto it longer plus get it heavier. The RUC is a definite outlier right now with its push of heavy band so far west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Radar looks like the moisture is hitting the Delaware River and stopping, then bending north around Trenton. I hope my paranoia means I'm just hallucinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It is kind of like Hurricane Schwartz was saying last night...you can never understimate the higher spots like here N and W of the big cities....that said - I don't think this will make that large of an impact probably a little better ratios/fluff factor but I am not optimistic that too much gets this far (27 mi NW of PHL) with this but....heck if you would have told me we could get a few inches of snow 48 hours ago I would have been shocked. So I guess we need to watch the radars and trends. Paul Paul (or anyone), Does model qpf take in account any upsloping? I know we don't live in the Rockies, but a lot of times you hear about the "fall line" north west of Philly. No doubt we see less precip than areas east. I'm just wondering if our elevation will help to squeeze out a few additional flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwinter23 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Some people storm the grocery store before big snowstorms, I prefer to storm the liquor store .

LocoAko Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Guys! There is a pinned thread for observations. It will be helpful to any meteorologists or other members to find out what is happening at other locations if it is centralized in the pinned thread. Use this thread for discussion.

Rainshadow Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 But west into NJ its still the least but it has no impact on whats been forecast, I was just pointing it out. Thought it would have caved. I also dont see 30 - 35MM from the b/w maps. The Canadians have been east/drier throughout. I guess we'll know for sure by sunset.

goldstar Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 as i figured- there are SERIOUS discussions to POSTPONE the Eagles/Minny game tonight. Oh I hope not! That would be terrible! Maybe the league should legislate all teams into domed stadiums! Give me a break! On less off topic, the water vapor loop shows the due north movement of the dryslot and I think that should shove the deform band a little further west.

Jmister Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Interesting to see that snow has begun in NYC before PHL. I am a little discouraged looking at the radar trends here in PHL, but it looks like it is slowly creeping northward. I am not very experienced at nowcasting though. Time will tell how we do in Philly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
